Many people in the world work in offices. The office is the place where we spend a lot of time during the day. This is the place where we work and we get paid for it. The people who own these offices and the companies who run them, are usually very wealthy people. These people don’t need to worry too much about small things like the bills for the electricity. But still, if you’re an office manager, and you care about the environment and about our planet, you should think about how you can reduce the energy usage in your office. For those who care about these things, we’ve gathered a few energy saving tips for the office, which can help you reduce the bills and help the planet.

The light switches. Every office has a lot of light switches. After all, there are a lot of rooms and lights in the entire building and usually many light switches are located in the same place. This makes it very easy to turn on the wrong light. This uses a lot of energy which is just unnecessary and pointless. But putting a little label next to each light switch can help us know which switch turns which light, and this will save a lot of energy and money. It’s simple and effective.

Install sensors. In every office people often forget to turn off the lights when they get out of a particular room. They usually think that if they don’t pay the bills for the electricity, they can do whatever they want. This thinking is absolutely wrong. But you can’t force people to turn off the lights every time they walk down the corridor. This is why the best way to save energy in this case is to install sensors. They detect movement and turn the lights on. If nobody’s moving near the sensors, the lights will automatically turn off. This will save you a lot of money and trouble, and it’s also very effective.

Natural light. Why use electricity and close ourselves in the dark office, when there’s the beautiful sun shining just outside? The best energy saving tip for your office is to just open the blinds and let the sunshine in. The natural light is a lot healthier and it doesn’t cost anything! Licensed housekeepers remind you to remember to turn off the lights when you open the blinds, because the mixed light is harmful for the eyes, and you won’t save any money this way.

The computers. In many offices they make the mistake to leave the computers running even at night. This costs a lot of money and it’s really senseless, because nobody’s using them at night. They just use a lot of electricity and your bills will keep growing.

The air conditioning. Every office nowadays has a central air conditioning. The problem is that usually it’s set on an impossible to reach temperature. It’s better to wear an additional sweater, but to set the air conditioner on a temperature it can reach. The best temperature every conditioner can maintain is between 19 and 24 degrees. Above that you’re just loosing money on electricity without any result.

The flowers are very gentle plants, which need lots of love and attention in order to grow well and without any complications.

Many people nowadays like to grow their own flowers in their gardens, which brings lots of colour and life to the landscape.

Cleaning windows is something I used to forget I was supposed to do quite often. But lately I learned the hard lesson, that dried mud and dust is almost impossible to remove from the glass, and from then I started paying more attention to these parts of my home. Also, while I was trying to scrub out all the dirt from the window surface, I realised that the regular cleaning solutions I buy from the store are not so efficient as they say. To compare, I cleaned one window with only white vinegar, and the results were much better than the ones I got using a regular glass cleaner. From this point, I decided to only use natural ingredients, in order to achieve perfect window cleaning results. Here are the ingredients I use.
